☾ Twentieth Sacrifice | video
[The video is accidentally turned on when Catty’s finger slips over the record button, jumping at the pounding on the apartment door. She takes it with her when she goes to answer it, the datapad tilted so that it shows the four Republic soldiers standing outside when she opens the door.]
Catty Turner? [One of the soldiers steps forward, a harsh look on his face as he crowds inside of the doorway. Catty takes a step back, clearly confused when she speaks.]
Can I... help you guys with something?
[The other three soldiers follow in after the first, making it clear that there’s no escape to the girl, blasters at the ready. In the hands of the first soldiers, cuffs appear.
Catty takes another step backwards before the datapad drops to the floor.] No, it’s a mistake.
You can come quietly, or we could take you by force.
[Her fingers clench into fists.]
She’s a Force user, Captain. [Another soldier speaks up, and the guns instantly are trained on her. Any plan she might have been thinking up at that point is null and void. She’s good, but even she knows that she could be shot at even the slightest twitch.]
Catty Turner, [the Captain advances on her, grabbing her by the arms and forcing her to turn around as the cuffs are locked around her wrist, the bands glowing blue.] under order of Admiral Saffron and the Republic, you are to come with us for any involvement with the recent terrorist attacks. [He jerks her back before shoving her forward so that she’s facing the door.]
You’re making a mistake! [She screams, trying to pull her hands out of the force field cuffs.]
[Kyp runs into the room, having heard the commotion] What are you doing!? Let her go!
[The Captain eyes him] This doesn’t concern you, kid.
What are you talking about? She’s my friend, of course it - get those cuffs off her! [The room starts to shake, Kyp looking more and more distressed]
Kyp, knock it off!
We don’t have time for this. Take the prisoner and--
I said let her go! [If Kyp had been planning on doing anything about the situation at hand, however, he doesn’t get the chance. One of the soldiers levels his blaster at the boy and stuns him; he hits the ground with a hard thunk and doesn’t move]
Kyp! [Catty struggles again before two soldiers grab her and drag out of the apartment.] He didn’t even do anything! Kyp!
Leave this one. We have who were ordered to take. [The Captain and the remaining soldier exit the apartment after that, leaving the boy on the floor and their suspect in custody.]
